ST_Within

Applies to ❌ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

This predicate checks if one geometry is within another. This is the inverse of ST_Contains. For example:

create.select(
  field(stWithin(
    stGeomFromText("POINT (-2 0)"),
    stGeomFromText("POLYGON ((-3 -1, -1 -1, -1 1, -3 1, -3 -1))")
  )),
  field(stWithin(
    stGeomFromText("POINT (4 0)"),
    stGeomFromText("POLYGON ((3 -1, 1 -1, 1 1, 3 1, 3 -1))")
  ))
).fetch();

The result being, for example

+-----------+-----------+
| ST_Within | ST_Within |
+-----------+-----------+
| true      | false     |
+-----------+-----------+
